BRUSH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1914.

Application filed May 25, 1910, Serial No. 563,359. Renewed March 10, 1914. Serial No. 823,795.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM D. HANSEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Brushes, of which the followsingle mass of bristles di'sposed axially of said spreading member whereby the maximum flare is given the outer end of said mass.

Other objects of the invention will appear as the specific description which follows is read in connection with the acconipanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a sectional view of a brush showlng the same ap lied to a face. Fig. 2 is a similar section 0 I the-brush. Fig. 3 1s a sectional view of a brush showing a modified form of socket.

Referring more especially to the drawings, 1 represents the brush handle to the outer end of which is secured a collar 2 the walls of which produce a'bristle socket 3 in.

which the brist es 4 are properly secured in any'suitable manner, as by embedding the same in shellac, rubber, etc. v

It will be noticed that the brush body is composed of a solidbunch of bristles, the

ing a. cup of such configuration as to permit the brush to be tilted at an angle, say at about when in active use without envdangiaring the loss of the powdered soap and the ke material therefrom.

In the modification shown in Fig. 3, thesoap'receiving socket 6 is formed by gradually decreasing the length of the bristles from the outer portion of the bunch to the inner. portion, thereby forming a conical socket with straight walls, the inner bristles forming a base for the socket.-

Having thus described the invention, what 7 is claimed is- A powdered soapapplicator comprising, a pliable powder retainin and spreading member including inner an outergroups of bristles, the bristles of the outer grou being extended beyond the bristles o the inner group, the said inner and outer bristles being extended toward a common point and being compactly associated at their inner ends to resent a single mass of bristles axially 0? said spreading member, whereby the maximum flare is given the outer end of.

the latter and the said outer and inner groups of bristles relatively assoclated at ,the extreme outer end of the member to define an outwardly flared cup, the said cup having a certain depth longitudinally of the member, and a handle having a common socket into which the inner compact mass of bristles is secured, the outer extremities of the inner group of bristles being disposed in the same general plane and parallel with the spreading extremities of the outer bristles.

In testlmony whereof I aifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

' WILLIAM D. HANSEN.
